Abstract
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a mechanism capable of improving fuel economy by preventing a compression pressure and a negative pressure from being formed inside a cylinder of an engine during traveling of an automobile, and a method and apparatus for operating an intake and exhaust valve of an engine.
A valve mechanism applied to an automobile engine supplies air or a mixed gas of fuel and air to the combustion chamber according to the stroke of the engine and discharges the combustion gas. In recent years, variable valve mechanisms have been developed that optimize the air or mixed gas inflow amount and the combustion gas discharge efficiency by varying the valve opening rate and opening / closing timing depending on the operating conditions of the engine, that is, the rotational speed and load of the engine. By improving the valve mechanisms of the automobile engine as described above, it is possible to improve the engine performance such as fuel consumption, torque, and output of the engine.
An internal combustion engine of an automobile has a stroke of intake-compression-expansion (explosion) -exhaust, ignites fuel at the end of a compression stroke, and obtains power by the expansion movement of heat energy. In the case where the vehicle is driven by power, the inside of the cylinder (combustion chamber) must be sealed so that the expansion pressure can be efficiently converted into the power. However, in a case where the vehicle is running under a condition (coasting) , The engine resistance should be minimized so as to travel as much as possible to maximize the fuel economy of the engine. However, in a conventional engine, a compression pressure is always generated in a cylinder (combustion chamber) in both of a general running state in which power is generated and a case in which the vehicle is running in a non-driving manner. Therefore, under the other running conditions, the compression pressure inside the cylinder acts as engine resistance, which causes a disadvantage that the fuel consumption is lowered.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a valve operating method and a valve control apparatus capable of reducing the engine resistance under the condition of the running condition of the automobile. It is another object of the present invention to provide a valve operating method and a valve control apparatus capable of improving fuel economy and increasing a travel distance by vehicle inertia in the case of a traveling condition of an automobile. Still another object of the present invention is to provide a valve operating method and a valve control apparatus capable of improving the cooling efficiency of the engine.
In order to accomplish the above object, the present invention is characterized in that, in a normal running mode in which power is generated by combustion of fuel, the fuel supply to the engine is cut off and the vehicle runs only with inertia of the vehicle, An intake stroke which is lowered to the bottom dead center due to inertia generated in the normal running mode and in which the intake valve is opened but the fuel is not supplied into the cylinder; A compression stroke in which the piston moves from the bottom dead center to the top dead center and the exhaust valve is open; An expansion stroke in which the piston descends again to the bottom dead point by inertia and the intake valve is opened; And an exhaust stroke in which the piston moves from the bottom dead center to the top dead center and the exhaust valve is open.
The present invention also provides an upper split bar slidable in a vertical direction; A lower split bar located below the upper split bar and slidable in the up and down direction and defining an oil receiving portion between the upper split bar; A main body in which the upper split bar and the lower split bar are slidably received, and an oil supply gallery for supplying oil to the oil receiving portion is formed at one end; An oil chamber for supplying oil to the oil supply gallery; A valve for supplying oil to the oil receiving portion through the oil supply gallery or for discharging oil from the oil receiving portion; A cam mounted on a lower portion of the lower split bar to periodically move the upper split and lower split bars; And a rocker arm that is driven by the up and down movement of the upper split bar to control opening and closing of the intake or exhaust valve.
According to the valve operation method and the valve control apparatus of the automobile engine according to the present invention, the fuel consumption can be improved by reducing the engine resistance under the other running conditions, and it is possible not only to increase the running distance by the vehicle inertia, Can be improved.

The valve operating method according to the present invention is a method for operating a valve in which the vehicle is running in a different running region, that is, the fuel non-spraying region in which the accelerator pedal is not depressed (set in the fuel system of all the vehicles) (I.e., the engine rotates at a constant speed or more). For example, if a driver runs a vehicle at a constant speed and then continues to travel without any further speed, if the vehicle can continue to travel on a downhill condition with a gentle downhill slope, In the case where the clutch is driven by releasing the accelerator pedal (in this case, the travel time is short, but the effect is large due to the large frequency), when the vehicle is stopped after traveling at a predetermined distance due to a forward stop signal, The method of the present invention can be usefully applied.
